Hero? Ask children what a hero is and they will
answer you Batman, Superman and so on. A hero is a person who can sacrifice for
the goodness of others. He/she shows willingness to help others in times of
danger.
She
is not as powerful as Wonder Woman. A person that is not as strong as Darna,
but I consider her as my hero. A father, mother, friend, sister, a great
teacher and a hero. She is my MOTHER. She stands as a father and a mother in
our family when my Papa passed away when I was still a little baby. I know that
it is not that easy to be a father and at the same time a mother. The responsibilities
are doubled. I salute her for being a
strong person to overcome all the problems that we face in the family. She sacrifices
everything that she has to make us happy. She is my first teacher who teaches me right
things to do and those wrong doings that should not be done. She is a great teacher
to me and to my siblings. My mother is the one who is always at my side not
only in times of happiness, but also in times of life’s challenges and
difficulties. She is my angel. She takes good care of me when I’m sick. An angel
because she guides me in everything I do, helps me for every decision I make, and
advises me for every problem I face. I know that her decisions will always be
right for me.
I am not a perfect
daughter to my mother. I admit that sometimes, I am being selfish. There are
some things that I can’t tell to her, but I know that she is always there to
listen. I am just afraid to what she will tell or what will be her reactions or
comments. Sometimes, I am not also following her advises and I am so sorry for
this but I love my Mama so much. I am a Mama’s girl. For me, she is the best
mom in the world.
To all of us, we should
value our mothers. We should respect them because they deserve it. They are
heaven’s gifts.
A mother is the truest friend we have, when
trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of
prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when
trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her
kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace
to return to our hearts.
